Introduction: Multidrug-resistant organism (MRO) bacteraemia is associated with significant mortality. A limited number of studies have examined the relationship between MRO colonisation and subsequent bacteraemia in critically ill patients.

Material And Methods: All patients with a positive surveillance swab result and a positive blood culture result for MROs admitted to the Westmead intensive care unit (ICU) between 1 January 2014 and 31 March 2019 had their results matched with ICU data extracted from the ICU database and analysed for the risk of bacteraemia among swab positive patients.

Objective: To develop a simple tool for assessing the severity of disability resulting from Japanese encephalitis and whether, as a result, a child is likely to be dependent.

Methods: A new outcome score based on a 15-item questionnaire was developed after a literature review, examination of current assessment tools, discussion with experts and a pilot study. The score was used to evaluate 100 children in Malaysia (56 Japanese encephalitis patients, 2 patients with encephalitis of unknown etiology and 42 controls) and 95 in India (36 Japanese encephalitis patients, 41 patients with encephalitis of unknown etiology and 18 controls).
